Leaving Kiev!

We are on the 10:25 pm train to Kharkov tonight. This is a city of 1.4 million people. I believe our friend Alex from Knoxville is from Kharkov. It will feel good to switch from tourist mode to what our focus truly is. We cannot wait to see these young boys. The bureaucracy here is significant and even our simple visit requires many stamps and approvals before we can see the children. Pray that all goes smoothly.

Steve and Melissa,You are in my prayers. Hope your meeting with the boys goes/went well. Girls are fun. Boys will pull at your heart strings. They may be rough and tough, but they are teddy bears underneath it all...maybe hyper ones, but teddy bears, nonetheless!Love to you!Lora

The Eimers Family

Our Purpose in Pursuing a Ukrainian Adoption

There are 150,000,000 orphaned children in our world. Our mission and passion is to be the family for three children in the country of Ukraine. Now that part of our passion has been realized!

We left in December, 2007, pursuing three young orphaned siblings in the country of Ukraine and they didn't have a clue we were coming. We didn't know their genders or almost anything about them. All we really knew is that our children would be under age 9. We did know how much we already loved these children and were committed to do whatever necessary to bring them home.

This is still our mission and our passion. This will not be a 5-week mission trip and there will be no furloughs. We are beginning a life-long endeavor. The costs financially, emotionally, and spiritually are going to be great and we would like to ask you to consider partnering with us in prayer as well as considering what part you might have in ministering to orphans in our world.The Eimers
